Episode Guide & Summary
Target SNAFU (Dir. Frank Tashlin)
Private Snafu fails to protect himself adequately against the onslaught of an armada of malaria-laden mosquitoes.
Three Brothers (Dir. Friz Freleng)
Snafu is performing the tedious task of sorting boots. Driven to madness by boredom, he is taken to visit his brothers Tarfu and Fubar by the gruff Technical Fairy, First Class, somewhat in the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas. Brother Tarfu is tending to the every need of carrier pigeons, while brother Fubar is the unlucky dummy used in training attack dogs. After seeing his brothers' terrible jobs, Private Snafu returns to work with gusto.
In the Aleutians (Dir. Chuck Jones)
A diminutive Japanese serviceman hops from island to island, envisioning them as a back door to invade the United States. Upon reaching a doorway, he’s met by a large American soldier, marking the Aleutians as a front door to Tokyo.

Private SNAFU Brief Background
A collection of instructional animated shorts created by the U.S. military during World War II to educate and boost morale among troops, many of whom lacked formal education. Developed by director Frank Capra and featuring the voice of Mel Blanc, the series starred the clumsy Private SNAFU and addressed topics from security to sanitation. Written by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel and Phil Eastman, these classified films also reflect the era’s cultural prejudices.
